Dead Rabbits Run A Garden with a Past, a Future, and a Bit of Magic
Dead Rabbits Run isn’t just a garden — it’s a living tapestry woven by Derek and Anne over decades.

From paddock to paradise, each path winds through memory, whimsy, and the joy of things that grow.

It’s not Thursday, but today we’re throwing it back to our garden tour day three (!) years ago, where we had some Featherston businesses slinging their wares as a bonus treat for guests.

It was such a gorgeous day, and we loved being able to support and promote locally made products 🐝 🍯

A little bit of ‘lately’ at the run, as we prepare for our Featherston Heritage Festival event.

Here’s our new lawn under construction, and some tulips showing off for good measure. As you can tell from our sculptures and ironworks throughout the garden, industrial meeting beauty is kinda our vibe … so we’re thoroughly enjoying this process!

🚧 🌷

Purple hydrangeas brood in the garden like clustered thoughts of passion and regret, their heavy blooms bowed under the weight of unspoken feeling. They seem born of twilight itself, where beauty is inseparable from melancholy and every petal trembles with a poet's sorrow.
